Good to see another Vauxhall on oldschool, especially something different to Chevettes and Vivas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Great looking car. I like your idea of smoothie wheels. Seedy Al has a couple of mesh visors for sale. Maybe one would fit? See here //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38420-fs-external-sun-visors-2-x-mesh-1-x-solid-wgtn/ Come along to a monthly meet some time and put some names to faces.

KKtrips Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nice car and you sound to have had an appropriate collection of New Zealand classics. Well done. Come to our monthly meets. We love our meeting in real life as much as talking shit over the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfingapete Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks guys..The mesh visors seem a little small for the Velox as mine is 1400mm at the top from gutter to gutter and not keen on the solid one...Unfortunately my line of work (Bus Driver on the lovely kapiti coast) means I do a lot of shift work so the weekday meets are a bit hard to make but look forward to cruising on the weekends if anything is happening.

yoeddynz Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Lovely car! Welcome along to Oldschool. Yeah I agree it's great that you have some good history with it. It looks clean and original. Always a nice thing. But over time you can morph it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get another set of rims at some stage and just widen them I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitlab Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hey all, I am the new owner of this lovely car. Still in fairly sound condition but I'm in the process of getting the warrant. Anyone know where I can get both a left and right steering ball joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
